Hockey Death

Alex Cherepanov, a 19 year old forward collapsed on the iceand again on the bench in Russia during a game last night. He was a forward for the Rangers and was their No. one draft choice in 2007. Although he had no previous health issues, he was examined in August 2007 while at the Ranger's facility.

Although Grossman said, "I heard there was a problem with the ambulance and the defibrillator." it was already too late and officials don't know if it would have made a difference.

So what does an apparent healthy, athletic 19-year-old die of? This is not a normal occurance and when any young person passes it will be looked into. Was it the ambulance problem? Was it really too late? Heart attack? What do you think?
